The Square sold 100.000 + tickets in Denmark, iirc, and I suspect it did just as well in Sweden. Sometimes filmmakers make films for their own context, y'know?

cats are the enigmatic guards of a sacred cosmic plane of centered self-possession that humans can only reach by befriending felines. kedi was a pleasant afternoon date movie, kinda forgot about it.

i normally love getaway car heist movies, and I like Edgar Wright but my god i did not like Baby Driver at all. Ok that’s not true. I liked the music. That’s it. The movie felt like a cross between an Apple commercial and a car commercial. dumb, annoying, stupid. SO annoying.

I'm about 90% sure this ends with Phantom Thread first and Twin Peaks second--Twin Peaks simply requires too much of a time investment for it to have been seen by enough people to finish first. 9% that it goes the other way, and 1% I'm forgetting something obvious between them.

I think call me by your name will beat out twin peaks although obv I’m rooting for that not to be the case. Prob other things will too since many ppl won’t vote for it on principle As ever I would welcome a classic ilx-style upset in the top spot as long as it isn’t star wars

Paddington 2 is wonderful down to the smallest detail. Even the "2" is introduced in a sweet, not-tacky way, on the title screen. I'd say I liked it more than the first one, but maybe I was just riding a Paddington high and ready for more.― geoffreyess, January 24, 2018

Took a couple of kids from work to see it and laughed so hard at one scene I thought I wasn't going to stop. Stays true to the spirit of the original, too. Everybody in this is perfect.― Noodle Vague, January 24, 2018

What a charmingly simple, innocent, calming, ridiculous movie this was. A couple of hilariously subtle jokes. My fave was when the inmates introduced themselves and one of them more or less was revealed as a politician, which earned another really subtle "no comment" callback a few beats later. Not sure I got the joke beyond the maybe obvious, but I love how Knuckles had "Knuckle's" (with the erroneous apostrophe) tattooed on his knuckles.― Josh in Chicago, January 27, 2018

wins - there was a list of ten or so writer & comedian types with "special thanks" or similar in the opening titles, and a massive list buried in the closing credits. I assume the ones at the start chipped in gags that got used, and the others didn't.
apparently it was all from reading and responding to King & Farnaby's script, not a collaborative room, or anyone else writing any drafts.
